Droid Charge EE4 update improvements

I can say that is sage advice, but its also a bit of a slam on those who work hard to put out the fixes for the users who want to move forward and enhance their phones

Not sure if you were referring to my (immediately) prior post or not. If you were...
I just want to clarify something -- in no way did I intend to criticize anyone in the non-VZ/Samsung community (i.e. the great people here) indirectly, directly, mildly or otherwise. When I said "could be there's a bug in this update" I was referring to the update pushed out by VZ (and presumably captured in the ZIP file, unless our community is even better than I thought!).

And, really, the advice was given because the poster sounded like he was unsure what to do and a bit of a novice. I'm certainly *not* any kind of an expert, but given there's a non-invasive easy work-around to his only issue, thought worth the advice to avoid the ZIP for now lest it create more problems and hassle than it solves.

I grabbed it from XDA, but I'm pretty sure it was the same one posted here.

4G to 3G hand off seems to be relatively seemless, though to be fair, I have not tested that one other than real world driving and observing.

For those waiting for the update.. this is it. If there are any last minute changes, it will not be EE4.. it will be another named build. I would grab the update and do it yourself. It's no different than if it comes OTA.

I am back on Stock Rooted ED1, and instead of going right to EE4, my stupid phone is trying to install ED2 again. So I guess I might as well put CWM on and load the EE4 file so I can get the radio firmware.

Except if you were one of the unfortunate few that had an issue installing it, Verizon could say it wasn't their fault. If you waited for the OTA update, you have every right to hold Verizon responsible for anything that went wrong. At least that's how I view it.

...which can easily be solved by flashing back to ED1 and updating all over again to ED2 and EE4 if there are indeed any issues. By that time the EE4 update should have gone out OTA anyway.

I hadn't received the OTA yet.. So I downloaded the update, renamed it and stuck it on my SD Card. Mainly fumbling I rebooted into download mode. Watch the phone show up in Odin, then unplugged, put in battery and booted back up... Update available.. Coincidentally I believe I rebooted right on midnight. So did it pull the update from my card or did I just happen to get the OTA rollout tonight?

Sounds like you got the OTA. Plus you don't load the EE4 update through odin when it's the 'update.zip' file. That is only flashable via stock recovery by holding the volume up+home key+power button and waiting for the samsung logo to flash twice (on the second one let go and it will go into recovery) Then you would go to install update.zip locate the file and install that way. So you definitely recieved it via OTA.
